+# === zeroize versioning issues ===
+#
+# A number of packages used explicit upper bound on the `zeroize` package, such
+# as `>=1, <1.4`.  The problem is that cargo still does not duplicate `zeroize`
+# if a newer version is available and requested by another package and just
+# fails the whole dependency resolution process.
+#
+# This is described in
+#
+# https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/specifying-dependencies.html#multiple-requirements
+#
+# So we have to patch `zeroize` dependency specifications in the projects that
+# introduce these constraints.  They have already removed these constraints in
+# newer versions, but we have not updated yet.  As we update, we need to remove
+# these patch requests.
+#
+# When our dependencies are upgraded, we can remove this patches.  Before that
+# we might need to maintain these patches in sync with our full dependency
+# tree.
+
+# Our dependency tree has `aes-gcm-siv` v0.10.3 and the `zeroize` restriction
+# was removed in the next commit just after the release.  So it seems safe to
+# patch to this commit.
